"Go back?"
Hearing the Great Venerable's words, the Chief Protector trembled. He was obviously unwilling.
He was already in such a state. Wouldn't it be courting death if he went back?
"Are you afraid?"
The Great Venerable sneered disdainfully and said, "If it weren't for me, you would have lost your life. How could you still be alive now?"
"I'm afraid. Of course I'm afraid!"
The Chief Protector took a deep breath and said, "I have nothing now. Why wouldn't I be afraid?"
"Is it a bad thing to be afraid?"
The Great Venerable shook his head and said, "It's a good thing to be afraid. You really have nothing now. You don't even have the slightest bit of combat power. But because of this, you will be more desperate and crazy to survive!"
"What do you mean?"
The Chief Protector raised his eyebrows.
"I mean, if you want to live, you have to go with me. Once you leave my protection, you will definitely be found by that swordsman. At that time, you won't be able to escape."
The Great Venerable stared at the Chief Protector and said, "In this situation, you can't absorb any Qi of Heaven and Earth at all. If your injuries can't be treated in time, they will only continue to worsen. At a certain level, even if that swordsman doesn't come to kill you, you will die from your injuries."
"Even if you are lucky and escape with your life, the Sacred Lord will find you."
"So, going back with me is the only way you can go!"
The Chief Protector's face was gloomy.
Indeed.
What the Great Venerable said was very reasonable.
Along the way, the reason why he could escape from that swordsman twice in a row was because of the Great Venerable's special aura concealing skill.
Without the protection of this skill, that swordsman would definitely come to find him. At that time, only death would greet him!
Not only that.
His current injuries were very serious. In the situation where he could not absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth and convert it into internal Qi to heal his injuries, let alone that swordsman, even if he encountered any martial artists who were hostile to him, he was likely to die a violent death.
"What are you going to do?"
Thinking of this, the Chief Protector fiercely gritted his teeth and asked.
"Didn't I say it already? Let's continue to blow things up!"
The corners of the Great Venerable's mouth curled up coldly as he said, "Once that kid leaves the cyclone, he'll definitely be surrounded and questioned by martial artists. He's also used up a lot of inner qi while chasing after us, so it's impossible for him to return to the center of the cyclone. He'll definitely find a place to hide and recover his inner qi, so now is the best time for us to return."
"However, that kid is very sinister. In order to not let him notice, we can only walk back."
The Chief Protector nodded in understanding.
Saying.
The two of them returned to Hangu Pass.
Because it was night time, the two of them didn't walk very fast.
The next morning.
The two of them were only halfway through the journey, and they were still ten kilometers away from the cyclone at Hangu Pass.
When the two of them passed by a small town, they disguised themselves and continued on their way.
Even though they were seriously injured and had no internal Qi to support them, both of them were martial artists, so this level of traveling was not hard for them.
Another day passed.
By the time they returned to the forest near Hangu Pass, it was already night time.
Because they suspected that the cliff they had occupied before had been searched and exposed, the two of them didn't return to the cliff, but chose another direction and quietly came to a very flat forest.
Because of the flat terrain, there were many martial artists living here.
"These people are all your nourishment."
Looking at the large group of martial artists sitting cross-legged in the mountain forest, the Great Venerable smiled sinisterly and said, "Your current situation is not optimistic, so you must seize every opportunity and seize all the resources you can use so that you can live well!"
So.
The Chief Protector took action.
With the help of the Great Venerable, there was a sound as soft as that of snakes and insects in the forest. One after another, martial artists were caught and put behind big trees. They were sucked dry before they could even make a sound.
As more and more inner Qi was extracted, the Chief Protector and the Great Venerable recovered a little.
The next morning.
After a martial artist woke up, he stood up and walked to a big tree not far away. As he walked, he quickly unzipped his pants, ready to pee.
But just when he turned around and was about to pee.
"Ah!"
A scream suddenly erupted from this person's throat, startling all the birds and beasts in the quiet forest into flight. All the people who were sitting cross-legged and cultivating were also startled awake at this moment.
"What are you screaming for?"
"What are you doing?"
"Boy, do you want to die?"
The martial artists who were awakened all questioned angrily.
"Dead, dead man."
This man quickly pointed to the shadow behind the big tree that no one could see and said, "There's a dead man here!"
As soon as he said that.
Everyone immediately stood up and hurried over to check.
What appeared in front of everyone was a young man.
He leaned against the big tree, his feet were loose and cracked, and there were traces of struggle on the ground. His face was pale, and his eyes bulged out, looking very scary.
At this time.
"Ah!"
There was a scream.
Everyone quickly turned to look in the direction of the scream.
"Here too."
Everyone was shocked. They hurried over to check and found that the two people died in exactly the same way.
Later.
Everyone began to search the mountain forest.
In the end, they found eight corpses.
These eight corpses were located behind the shadow of the big tree, which was a shadow that people's eyes could not reach. At the same time, the way of death of these eight people was exactly the same!
That was to say.
They were all murdered.
Soon, the news that the corpses were found in this forest spread out, and martial artists from all directions also rushed over to check.
"Eight people. How could eight people die so inexplicably?"
"These eight people are all drained."
"Their Dantian and meridians are not damaged, but their internal Qi is drained, so how did they die?"
"Their necks were all broken!"
Hearing the cause of death of these eight people, all the martial artists who rushed over could not help panicking.
This was murder.
It was blatant murder!
Just when all the people in Wulin were in a state of panic because of this murder, a man in the martial arts world suddenly appeared.
Suddenly.
There was a skill that could absorb other people's internal Qi to replenish one's own internal Qi in Wulin.
No one knew where this cultivation method came from.
Anyway, inexplicably, this skill spread among all the martial artists in Hangu Pass, even to the extent that everyone had a copy, just like the previous map of the eight places where the first Heaven Treasure might appear.
The appearance of this skill.
There was no doubt that it made everyone think of the eight martial artists who died after their qi was sucked out. Quite a number of people began to try to find the source of this skill and where it came from, but they could not find a single trace of it.
Of course.
No one believed that this skill could absorb other people's internal Qi for its own use. Some people even joked that if this skill really worked, it would become the real version of the Star-sucking Skill.
However.
Amidst all sorts of jokes, it was inevitable that there would be a person who was blinded by greed among the new and impure martial artists. Once he obtained this martial art, he secretly began to practice it.
If it was any other time, these martial artists would not practice this skill at all.
However, because of the special nature of this period, this person's desire for internal Qi was very strong.
Because of the previous eight people's murder, most of the martial artists chose to form alliances to deal with the unexpected situation that might happen at any time.
That night.
"Brother, it's late at night. I'm a little afraid of the dark. I heard that someone died there. Can you accompany me to the toilet?"
A young man grabbed a person who was in an alliance with him and begged.
"It's not peaceful recently. It's better to be careful."
The man who was caught nodded, stood up, and went to the toilet with him.
The two came to a big tree.
The young man was ready to open the zipper.
"Stand over there and give me a place."
The man who was asked to accompany him said with a curl of his lips.
The young man smiled and quickly stepped aside, coming to the shadow behind the big tree.
But before he could pee out.
A hand was placed on his shoulder. Then, it moved along his shoulder and directly touched his neck. Then, it forcefully squeezed his neck, flipped him over, and pressed his entire body down against the tree!
The young man waved his hands and feet in panic.
"You asked me to come. Accept your fate!"
The man who accompanied him said with an indifferent face. Then he suddenly activated his cultivation method, slapped his lower abdomen with one hand, and began to crazily extract the internal Qi in his body.
The young man struggled hard, but because of the strangulation, he couldn't even make a sound, and his breath gradually weakened.
After a while.
Just when this man was crazily extracting the internal Qi of his companion, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
Because he was too focused on extracting internal Qi, he didn't even hear the footsteps.
"What are you doing?"
A loud shout suddenly rang out.
In the night, all the people who had closed their eyes to rest were all awakened.
Everyone immediately rushed over.
The man who was extracting the internal Qi of his companion was shocked. He quickly let go of his hands, turned around in a panic without hesitation, and ran away to the depths of the forest.
Here.
Everyone rushed over to have a look.
The young man whose internal Qi had been extracted had completely lost his vitality at this time.
Everyone hurried to check if there was still a possibility of saving him, but found that the young man's heart had stopped beating, and all the internal Qi in his body had been sucked clean!
This situation made everyone at the scene extremely shocked.
Unexpectedly.
Someone actually believed in this kind of cultivation method. Someone actually practiced this kind of cultivation method. Someone actually used this kind of evil cultivation method to deal with his companion?
For a moment, everyone was in danger.
But there were also many people who began to look for this cultivation method to see.
Here.
He Gaoming, who quickly came to know the truth of the matter, immediately led his brothers to chase in the direction of the man who harmed his companion. Finally, they caught up with him and directly killed him!
